From Redding News Review

New Black Panther Party Chairman Malik Zulu Shabazz yesterday apologized for calling President Obama the “N-word”, but stood by his sharp criticism of the administration’s policy in Libya

“I should not have used the N-word,” Shabazz told Redding News Review, “but I am not taking back that, what he is doing, in bombing people and killing people across the earth and demonizing them, that those are the policies of the white man.”

Shabazz called Obama the N-word in March.

He said: “He represents the CIA, set-up, sabotage, lie on an African leader and bomb [sic] that man like he’s George Bush … And his wife should leave the n***er tonight. She should walk out, and his beautiful daughters should walk out on this bamboozling, buck-dancing Tom. Oh yeah, I said it. We’ve held back on this Negro for a long time … You should have listened to Louis Farrakhan a long time ago when you were at his table.”
